Recess for door mat

[J Sid]

all my edges are as factory finish, slight bullnose / rounded or small 45.
Never seen one chip, even going back to jobs 10 to 12 years later
as has been said, mats are usually 3mm to 5mm high when first laid and only drop to become leave.

 

[J Sid]

So no trim at door threshes either?

no
wooden thresh, and try not to use carpet to tile bar if possible.

Done a few and I use metal trim.
Why would you have a sharp edges?

On the corners?

 

[J Sid]

if you have to, then bend it , don't cut it

On the corners?

Not something I've had an issue with.

Funny that , I'm always making friends by following the crowd on here
Anyway, I have no problem with trim or no trim , I much preferred trimmed , but that's a completely different story

I usually edge porcelain with a piece of 20mm wide granite tapered to fit the customers desired depth of matting, place the matting insitu, then profile each bristle to match. Then contract a monthly cleaning service.
Or whack a 12mm trim in it and let the customers do what they want with it.

I think using a trim gives a better finish

We need a poll!

I'll be nobby no mates then
but I know I'm right

Here's one I did with an access panel in the floor

I would always trim a matwell, it's an edge and it's no different to any other exposed edge in my opinion

When you think about it every type of flooring has some kind of transition bar when it comes to a stop.
( just admit it julian your wrong)..

I thought you were going to mention the cuts are not from the same piece of tile!
